Beauty Scoop Beachy Frizz-Free Wavy Hair Secret

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Kathryn Kazan

Yes we all eagerly await summer warmth every year, but for you curly haired goddesses sometimes that means frizz galore. Humidity is one of the tough weather conditions that brings unneeded mess and frizz to curled locks. But with some great beauty products, you can avoid all the mess and flaunt frizz free waves all day long. These amazing products work with the elements to ensure that your waves don’t become too out of control. These highly recommended products include a weekly mask, spray, and hair oil.

Once a week, mask your hair with a mask. The mask is the perfect deep conditioner to liven, smoothen and hydrate your locks. A mask alsoleaves hair glossy and ridiculously silky. We recommend the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask that sells for $7.59 because it leaves your hair silky and can be used more than normal masks. 

Add a little dollop of hair oil to your locks daily.  Hair oil is a cure for coarse wavy hair because it tames, softens and defrizzes the driest of strands Our favorite hair oil is Moroccan Oil Treatment that sells for $41.00. Moroccan Oil leaves hair feeling silky smooth.

Also, spray your hair every morning. Yes, Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray ($24.00) is an old favorite and we still highly recommend the product. Buble and Bumble Surf Spray is made with salt water that slightly dirties up the hair. After applied the spray leaves your curls with extra texture and volume.

With a weekly hair mask and a daily dose of hair oil and spray your curls will be weather ready look luscious, smooth and tamed.

Daily Obsession Madewell Crossbody Bag

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Kathryn Kazan

For the summer months, consisting of running around with your girlfriends and biking through the park, it is essential to purchase a crossbody bag. This style is perfect allowing you to go hands free and is also functionably chic.  With light fabrics   your bag will  be fun and virtually weightless too. The Madewell crossbody bag is smaller and ultra feminine, just like this seasons summer prints.

We love this chic Madewell crossbody bag photographed on the left. The peach base and caramel colored compartment flap are perfect for complementing summer brights. As you can see, this bag compliments yellow fabulously. We also love the peach and caramel duo toned crossbody paired with vibrant hues like terqouise, lavendar, bubble gum pink and lime green.

 

Another great Madewell crossbody bag is the sensational emerald green bag with brown leather clasps. This bag is perfect paired with fun summer prints as well. We love this bag paired with bold purple or red toned stripes, multi-colored tropical prints, peach and yellow floral prints and retro polka dotted patterns. This bag is the perfect compliment because it is single toned and also a fun summer color. Emerald green is a lively shade of green that is so versatille. The shade can be worn along side any other colors and stand out.

 

The khaki and bubble gum pink Madewell mailbag crossbody is a great purchase to carry paired with solids. Bubble gum pink is such a fun summer hue that livens your every day solid tee and color-blocked outfits.  We love bubble gum pink paired with terqouise and yellow, orange and lime green, red and cobalt and silver and coral.

Tweet to us on our twitter page and share how you plan to wear your crossbody bag this summer.

Stylist Addiction Antonio Berardi Bicolor Cady Dress

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Molly Gahagan

It’s no secret that we absolutely love Charlize Theron around here. Her style is fun, flirty, bright, and super trendy, without being tacky and overdone. She is just incredibly elegant. Our fashion stylist, Daniella Cabrera, spotted Theron in yet another chic look recently. Theron wore an incredible Anontio Berardi dress for a recent appearance on the David Letterman show.

The fitted silhouette and color blocking of this dress make Theron look amazingly tall and elegant. It also follows two of this spring’s biggest trends, figure hugging pieces and soft, figure-flattering fabrics.

This gown is classic, featuring rich fabric and a gorgeous light pink hue. The sweetheart-esque neckline looks absolutely charming on Theron. This is a perfect party dress for any time of the year because it is fun, glamorous, and sophisticated. Theron paired the dress with a pair of strappy black pumps and gorgeous curls.
